INCOME OPPORTUNITY REALTY INVESTORS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. and consolidated entities were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the most significant of which are described in NOTE 1. “SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.” The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral part of these Consolidated Financial Statements. The data presented in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are as of December 31 of each year and for the year then ended, unless otherwise indicated. Dollar amounts in tables are in thousands, except per share amounts.
Certain balances for 2002 and 2001 have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 presentation.
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and business. Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. (“IORI”) is the successor to a California business trust organized on December 14, 1984, which commenced operations on April 10, 1985. IORI invests in real estate through direct ownership, leases and partnerships and it also may invest in mortgage loans on real estate.
In October 2001, IORI announced a preliminary agreement for the acquisition of IORI by American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARI”), a related party. See NOTE 17. “COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AND LIQUIDITY.”
Basis of consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of IORI and controlled subsidiaries and partnerships. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Accounting estimates. In the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, it is necessary for management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the year then ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent accounting pronouncements. In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Correction” (“SFAS No. 145”). Statement 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt” (“SFAS No. 4”), required that gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt that were included in the determination of net income be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary items. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 will require IORI to reclassify prior period items that do not meet the extraordinary classification. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 that relates to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 become effective in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of IORI.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS No. 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 94-3. IORI will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 146 for restructuring activities initiated after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of a company’s commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS No. 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amount recognized.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity’s accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. Finally, this Statement amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosure about those effects in interim financial information. Management currently believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 148 will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” which disclosures are effective for financial statements issued after December 15, 2002. While IORI has various guarantees included in contracts in the normal course of business, these guarantees do not represent significant commitments or contingent liabilities of the indebtedness of entities outside of the consolidated company.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”) which requires the consolidation of variable interest entities, as defined. FIN 46 is applicable to financial statements to be issued by IORI after 2002, however, disclosures are required currently if IORI expects to consolidate any variable interest entities. IORI does not currently believe that any entities will be consolidated as a result of FIN 46.
Real estate held for investment and depreciation. Real estate held for investment is carried at cost. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (“SFAS No. 144”) requires that a property be considered impaired, if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the property. If impairment exists, an impairment loss is recognized by a charge against earnings equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of the property exceeds the fair value of the property. If impairment of a property is recognized, the carrying amount of the property is reduced by the amount of the impairment and a new cost for the property is established. Such new cost is depreciated over the property’s remaining useful life. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, which range from 2 to 40 years.
Revenue recognition on the sale of real estate. Sales of real estate are recognized when and to the extent permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate” (“SFAS No. 66”). Until the requirements of SFAS No. 66 for full profit recognition have been met, transactions are accounted for using either the deposit, the installment sale, the cost recovery or the financing method, whichever is appropriate. See NOTE 2. “REAL ESTATE.”
Investment in noncontrolled partnerships. The equity method is used to account for investments in partnerships which IORI does not control. Under the equity method, an initial investment, recorded at cost, is increased by a proportionate share of the partnership’s operating income and any additional advances and decreased by a proportionate share of the partnership’s operating losses and distributions received.
Operating segments. Management has determined reportable operating segments to be those that are used for internal reporting purposes which disaggregates operations by type of real estate.
Fair value of financial instruments. The following assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of notes receivable and payable. For notes receivable the fair value was estimated by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates for similar loans. For notes payable the fair value was estimated using year end interest rates for mortgages with similar terms and maturities.
Cash equivalents. For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.
Earnings per share. Income (loss) per share is presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 “Earnings Per Share.” Income (loss) per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each year.
NOTE 2. REAL ESTATE

The Mowry building, located at 5600 Mowry School Road, Newark, California, was sold on July 1, 2003 at the sales price of $5.0 million. Prior to the sale, IORI wrote down the carrying value of the property to its fair value, and an impairment loss of $848,000 was recognized.
Concentration of investment risk. IORI has a high concentration of investment risk on properties in the Southwest region of the United States. This risk includes, but is not limited to changes in local economic conditions, changes in real estate and zoning laws, increases in real estate taxes, floods, tornados and other acts of God and other factors beyond the control of management.
Concentration of investment risk (continued). In the opinion of management, this investment risk is partially mitigated by the diversification of property types in other geographical regions of the United States, management’s review of additional investments, acquisitions in other areas and by insurance.
NOTE 3. NOTES AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE
Junior Mortgage Loans. Junior mortgage loans are loans secured by mortgages that are subordinate to one or more prior liens either on the fee or a leasehold interest in real estate. Recourse on the loans ordinarily includes the real estate which secures the loan, other collateral and personal guarantees of the borrower.
In January 2002, IORI purchased 100% of the outstanding common shares of Rosedale Corporation (“Rosedale”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARI”), a related party, for $5.1 million cash. Rosedale owned the 83,331 sq. ft. Rosedale Towers Office Building in Roseville, Minnesota. ARI guaranteed that the asset would produce at least a 12% return annually of the purchase price for a period of three years from the purchase date. If the asset failed to produce the 12% return, ARI agreed to pay IORI any shortfall. Management recorded this related party transaction as a note receivable from ARI. In the first quarter of 2002, after reviewing the property’s fair value after costs to sell, even though ARI has guaranteed the 12% return, IORI recognized a provision for loss on the note receivable of $767,000. In December 2002, the Rosedale Towers Office Building was sold for $7.2 million. ARI received $3.5 million of the proceeds after the payment of the first lien debt and various closing costs, and IORI recognized an additional loss of $801,000 on this note. The $3.5 million received by ARI is included within other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. In the second quarter of 2003, IORI received a $2.0 million paydown from ARI on the receivable. In the third quarter of 2003, the remaining $1.5 million was collected.
In February 2002, IORI funded a $2.0 million mortgage loan as a participation agreement with Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (“TCI”), a related party. The loan was secured by a second lien on a retail center in Montgomery County, Texas. The note receivable bore interest at 16.0% per annum, required monthly interest only payments of $47,000 and matured in February 2002. In February 2002, the loan was extended until April 2002. In April 2002, IORI extended the loan until July 2002, receiving $8,500 as an extension fee. In July 2002, the loan was extended until September 2002, with IORI receiving $8,500 as an extension fee. Of the $2.0 million in principal payments, $1.5 million was received by TCI and $500,000 was received by Basic Capital Management, Inc. (“BCM”), an affiliate and the advisor to IORI, until July 1, 2003. These amounts are included within receivables from affiliates in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
On October 14, 2003, IORI sold and conveyed the office building known as One Hickory Centre and 202 acres of unimproved real property known as the Travelers Land in Dallas County, Texas to Encino Executive Plaza, Ltd. The sale price for One Hickory Centre was $12,200,000 and Encino Executive Plaza, Ltd. executed a wrap-around promissory note in the amount of $11,973,025 payable to the order of IORI secured by a Deed of Trust encumbering One Hickory Centre. The note bore interest at 6.7% per annum. As with the prior transaction, the difference between the purchase price and the promissory note represented adjustments for various prorations. The sale price for the Travelers Land was $25,000,000. At closing, Encino Executive Plaza, Ltd. executed an all inclusive wrap-around promissory note payable to the order of IORI in the principal amount of $22,801,987 secured by a Deed of Trust covering the Travelers Land sold and delivered cash to IORI in the amount of $1,946,715, the remaining difference of which was as a result of prorations and various expenses paid by IORI in connection with the closing of the transaction. The note bore interest at 6.7% per annum. Subsequently, IORI made a loan to Encino Executive Plaza, Ltd. in the amount of $1,567,232 payable upon demand or if no demand is made prior thereto on June 30, 2006 with a market rate of interest. Encino Executive Plaza, Ltd. executed and delivered a promissory note payable to the order of IORI in the stated principal amount of $1,567,232. The note bore interest at 6.7% per annum.

On December 30, 2003, a Promissory Note in the amount of $2,000,000 given by Housing for Seniors of Humble (“Housing”), LLC to NLP Lakeshore Villas, LLC (“NLP”) was assigned from ARI to IORI as additional paydown of certain intercompany receivables.

  $ 44,342  
 
     
Notes payable at December 31, 2003, bear interest at rates ranging from 4.47% to 10.5% and mature between 2003 and 2025. The mortgages are collateralized by deeds of trust on real estate with a net carrying value of $50.4 million.
In April 2002, the Company transferred all of its residential properties to partnerships formed with Metra Capital LLC (“Metra”). The properties included the 60-unit Brighton Court, the 92-unit Del Mar, the 68-unit Enclave, the 280-unit Meridian, the 57-unit Signature, and the 114-unit Sinclair, all located in Midland, Texas, and the 106-unit Treehouse located in San Antonio, Texas. Innovo Realty, Inc., a subsidiary of Innovo Group, Inc. (“Innovo”) is a limited partner in the partnerships that purchased the properties. A former director of ARI, a related party, controlled approximately 11.67% of the outstanding common stock of Innovo. The transfer constituted 23% of the total assets of the Company as of December 31, 2001. The transfer price for the properties totaled $26.2 million, of which the Company received $5.3 million in cash after the payment of $15.9 million in debt and various closing costs. Management determined to account for the transaction as a refinancing transaction (rather than a sale) in accordance with SFAS 66 “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” At the time of the transaction in April 2002, ARI was a related party to the Company by virtue of ARI’s subsidiaries’ ownership of approximately 28.5% of the then outstanding common stock of the Company, and the fact that ARI and the Company had the same persons as executive officers. The compensation price for the properties transferred totaled $26.2 million and possible additional contingent consideration depending upon the sale price of the properties by the Metra partnerships. The Company also received $5.2 million in value of 8% in non-recourse, non-convertible preferred stock of Innovo. Based upon the prospect of additional consideration, ultimate continued involvement through the preferred stock and the related-party nature of the former ARI director’s involvement, as well as the Company retaining a right to approve the price of any ultimate sale by a Metra partnership of the properties, and a process by which the Company effectively guaranteed a preferential return to the Metra investors, management determined that the transaction must be classified as a financing transaction and not a sale. The Company continued to be able to exert control over the Metra partnerships, and no sale was recorded. The Treehouse property was subsequently sold to a non-related party in February 2004, and all of its debts have been repaid to the lenders at the time of the sale. During August 2004, certain entities, including the Company, instituted an action in a Texas state court against Innovo and Metra and others over the process, as well as distribution questions. During April 2005, a resolution of the litigation occurred settling all liabilities remaining from the original partnership arrangements which included a return of the Metra investor equity, prepayment of prospective asset management fees and miscellaneous fees and transaction costs from the Company and the other plaintiffs as a payment of the Preferential Return along with the delegation of management to another entity. Of the payment made, the Company recognized expense of $56,000 and a reduction of $1,476,000 in liabilities during the second quarter of 2005.

NOTE 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In January 2002, IORI purchased 100% of the outstanding common shares of Rosedale Corporation (“Rosedale”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARI”), a related party, for $5.1 million cash. Rosedale owned the 83,331 sq. ft. Rosedale Towers Office Building in Roseville, Minnesota. ARI guaranteed that the asset would produce at least a 12% return annually of the purchase price for a period of three years from the purchase date. If the asset failed to produce the 12% return, ARI agreed to pay IORI any shortfall. Management recorded this related party transaction as a note receivable from ARI. In the first quarter of 2002, after reviewing the property’s fair value after costs to sell, even though ARI has guaranteed the 12% return, IORI recognized a provision for loss on the note receivable of $767,000. In December 2002, the Rosedale Towers Office Building was sold for $7.2 million. ARI received $3.5 million of the proceeds after the payment of the first lien debt and various closing costs, and IORI recognized an additional loss of $801,000 on this note. The $3.5 million received by ARI is included within other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. In the second quarter of 2003, IORI received a $2.0 million paydown from ARI on the receivable. In the third quarter of 2003, the remaining $1.5 million was collected.
On December 30, 2003, a Promissory Note in the amount of $6.3 million given by Housing to NLP was assigned from ARI to IORI. On December 30, 2003, a Promissory Note in the amount of $2.0 million given by Housing to NLP was assigned from ARI to IORI. These assignments were payments aggregating $8.3 million plus accrued interest of $386,000 on certain intercompany receivables due to IORI.
On December 18, 2003, IORI purchased 100% of the outstanding common shares of Transcontinental Brewery Corporation (“Brewery”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCI, a related party, for $4.0 million for a reduction of intercompany debt in the same amount. Brewery owns the 19.96 acres of land and the 133,000 sq. ft. Eagle Crest Warehouse Building in Farmers Branch, Texas.
On December 18, 2003, IORI purchased 100% of the outstanding common shares of Transcontinental Treehouse Corporation (“Treehouse-IR”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCI, for $7.5 million for a reduction of intercompany debt in the amount of $2.4 million subject to mortgage lien in the amount of $5.1 million. Treehouse-IR owns the 153,072 sq. ft. Treehouse Apartments Building in Irving, Texas.
On December 18, 2003, IORI purchased 100% of the outstanding common shares of Transcontinental Parkway Corporation (“Parkway”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCI, for $4.0 million for reduction of intercompany debt in the amount of $2.4 million subject to mortgage lien in the amount of $1.6 million. Parkway owns the 28,374 sq. ft. Parkway Shopping Center in Dallas, Texas.
On September 19, 2002, IORI’s Board of Directors authorized the Chief Financial Officer of the Company to advance funds either to or from the Company, through the advisor, in an amount up to $5.0 million on the condition that such advances shall be repaid in cash or transfers of assets within 90 days.

Returns on Metra Properties. As described more fully in Note 5, IORI sold all of its residential properties during 2002 to partnerships controlled by Metra. The partnership agreement for each of these partnerships states that the Metra Partners, as defined, receive cash flow distributions at least quarterly in an amount sufficient to provide them with a fifteen percent cumulative compounded annual rate of return on their invested capital, as well as a cumulative annual amount of 0.50% of the average outstanding balance of the mortgage indebtedness secured by any of these residential properties. These distributions to the Metra Partners have priority over distributions to any of the other partners.

NOTE 7. DIVIDENDS
Dividends of $685,000 ($.45 per share) were paid in 2000.
It was reported to the Internal Revenue Service that 100% of the dividends paid in 2000 represented capital gains.
In December 2000, the Board of Directors determined not to pay a fourth quarter dividend to holders of IORI’s Common Stock. The non-payment decision was based on the Board determining that IORI needed to retain cash for acquisitions that were anticipated in 2001 and that IORI had no REIT taxable income that required a distribution.
No dividends were declared or paid in 2003 or 2002. Management expects to pay no dividends in 2004.
NOTE 8. RENTS UNDER OPERATING LEASES

NOTE 9. ADVISORY AGREEMENT
SWI is 100% owned by Gene E. Phillips. Mr. Phillips is a Chairman, a President, a Chief Executive Officer, and a Director, and is involved in daily consultation with the officers of SWI and has significant influence over the conduct of SWI’s business, including the rendering of advisory services and the making of investment decisions for itself and for IORI.
Under the Advisory Agreement, SWI is required to annually formulate and submit for Board approval a budget and business plan containing a twelve-month forecast of operations and cash flow, a general plan for asset sales and purchases, borrowing activity and other investments. SWI is required to report quarterly to the Board on IORI’s performance against the business plan. In addition, all transactions require prior Board approval, unless they are explicitly provided for in the approved business plan or are made pursuant to authority expressly delegated to SWI by the Board.
The Advisory Agreement also requires prior Board approval for the retention of all consultants and third party professionals other than legal counsel. The Advisory Agreement provides that SWI shall be deemed to be in a fiduciary relationship to the stockholders and contains a broad standard governing SWI’s liability for losses incurred by IORI.
The Advisory Agreement provides for SWI to be responsible for IORI’s day-to-day operations and to receive an advisory fee comprised of a gross asset fee of .0625% per month (.75% per annum) of the average of the gross asset value (total assets less allowance for amortization, depreciation or depletion and valuation reserves) and an annual net income fee equal to 7.5% per annum of net income.
The Advisory Agreement also provides for SWI to receive an annual incentive sales fee. SWI or an affiliate of SWI is to receive an acquisition commission for supervising the purchase or long-term lease of real estate. SWI or an affiliate of SWI is to receive a mortgage or loan acquisition fee with respect to the purchase of any existing mortgage loan. SWI or an affiliate of SWI also is to receive a mortgage brokerage and equity refinancing fee for obtaining loans or refinancing of IORI’s properties. In addition, SWI receives reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by it, in the performance of advisory services for IORI.
The Advisory Agreement requires SWI or any affiliate of SWI to pay to IORI one-half of any compensation received from third parties with respect to the origination, placement or brokerage of any loan made by IORI.
Under the Advisory Agreement all or a portion of the annual advisory fee must be refunded by SWI if the Operating Expenses of IORI (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) exceed certain limits specified in the Advisory Agreement. The effect of this limitation was to

38


 

require SWI to refund $227,000 of the 2003 annual advisory fee, $68,000 of the 2002 annual advisory fee, and $256,000 of the 2001 annual advisory fee.
Additionally, if management was to request that SWI render services other than those required by the Advisory Agreement, SWI or an affiliate of BCM would be separately compensated for such additional services on terms to be agreed upon from time to time. As discussed in NOTE 9. “PROPERTY MANAGEMENT,” Triad Realty Services, Ltd. (“Triad”), an affiliate of SWI, provides property management services and, as discussed in NOTE 11. “REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE,” Regis Realty, Inc. (“Regis”), a related party, provided, on a non-exclusive basis, brokerage services.
SWI may assign the Advisory Agreement only with the prior consent of IORI.
NOTE 10. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Triad provides property management services for a fee of 5% or less of the monthly gross rents collected on residential properties and 3% or less of the monthly gross rents collected on commercial properties under its management. Triad subcontracts with other entities for property-level management services at various rates. The general partner of Triad is BCM. The limited partner of Triad is Highland Realty Services, Inc.

NOTE 13. INCOME TAXES
For the years 2002 and 2001, IORI elected and qualified to be treated as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”), as defined in Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and as such, was not taxed for federal income tax purposes on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to stockholders. Due to the completion of the tender offer by ARI, an affiliate, and the resulting concentration of ownership, IORI no longer met the requirements for tax treatment as a REIT under the Code as of January 1, 2003, and is prohibited for re-qualifying for REIT status for at least five years.
IORI had net income for federal income tax purposes before the application of operating loss carryforwards in 2003 and 2002 and had a net loss for federal income tax purposes in 2001. Therefore, IORI recorded no provision for income taxes. IORI’s tax basis in its net assets differs from the amount at which its net assets are reported for financial statement purposes, principally due to the accounting for gains and losses on property sales, depreciation on owned properties and investments in joint venture partnerships. At December 31, 2003, IORI’s tax basis in its net assets was exceeded by their net basis for financial statement purposes by approximately $14.4 million and IORI’s tax basis in its net mortgage liabilities was exceeded by their net basis for financial statement purposes by

39


 

approximately $21.3 million. As a result, aggregate future income for income tax purposes will be less than such amount for financial statement purposes by approximately $6.9 million. Additionally, at December 31, 2003, IORI has current and prior tax net operating loss carryforwards of $2.3 million expiring through the year 2021.
As a result of IORI’s election to be treated as a REIT for income tax purposes for years 2002 and 2001 and its then intention to distribute its REIT taxable income, if any, in future years, no deferred tax asset, liability or valuation allowance was recorded. At December 31, 2003, IORI had a net deferred tax asset of $3.5 million due to tax deductions available to it in future years. However, as management cannot determine that it is more likely than not that IORI will realize the benefit of the deferred tax asset, a 100% valuation allowance has been established.
NOTE 14. OPERATING SEGMENTS
Significant differences among the accounting policies of the operating segments as compared to the Consolidated Financial Statements principally involve the calculation and allocation of general and administrative expenses. Management evaluates the performance of the operating segments and allocates resources to each of them based on their operating income and cash flow. Items of income that are not reflected in the segments are interest, and equity in partnerships totaling $619,000, $1.1 million, $185,000 for 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Expenses/(Gains) that are not reflected in the segments are general and administrative expenses, advisory and net income fees, provision for loss, and provision for asset impairment totaling $2.2 million, $3.5 million, and $1.6 million for 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Excluded from operating segment assets are assets of $50.8 million at December 31, 2003, $15.4 million at December 31, 2002, and $4.4 million at December 31, 2001, which are not identifiable with an operating segment. There are no intersegment revenues and expenses and all business is conducted in the United States.
Presented below is the operating income of each operating segment.

NOTE 15. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Effective January 1, 2002, IORI adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which established a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, including discontinued operations. This statement requires that the operations related to properties that have been sold or properties that are intended to be sold be presented as discontinued operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented, and properties intended to be sold are to be designated as “held-for-sale” on the balance sheet.
For 2003, 2002, and 2001, income (loss) from discontinued operations relates to two properties that IORI sold during 2002 and four properties sold during 2003. The following table summarizes revenue and expense information for these properties sold.

NOTE 17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AND LIQUIDITY
Olive Litigation. In February 1990, IORI, together with National Income Realty Trust, Continental Mortgage and Equity Trust (“CMET”) and TCI, three real estate entities with, at the time, the same officers, directors or trustees and advisor as IORI, entered into a settlement (the “Settlement”) of a class and derivative action entitled Olive et al. v. National Income Realty Trust et al. (the “Olive Litigation”), relating to the operation and management of each of the entities. On April 23, 1990, the Court granted final approval of the terms of the Settlement. The Settlement was modified in 1994 (the “Modification”), which was amended on January 27, 1997 by Amendment to the Modification effective January 9, 1994 (the “First Amendment”).
In October 2000, plaintiffs’ counsel asserted that the stock option agreement to purchase TCI shares, which was entered into by IORI and an affiliate of IORI, American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARI”), in October 2000 with an investment fund, breached a provision of the Modification. As a result of this assertion, IORI assigned all of its rights to purchase the TCI shares under this stock option agreement to ARI.
The Board believes that all provisions of the Settlement, the Modification and First Amendment terminated on April 28, 1999. However, in September 2000, the Court ruled that certain provisions of the Modification continue to be effective after the termination date. This ruling was appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit by IORI and TCI.
On October 23, 2001, IORI, TCI and ARI jointly announced a preliminary agreement with the plaintiff’s legal counsel for complete settlement of all disputes in the lawsuit. In February 2002, the court granted final approval of the proposed settlement (the “Second

42


 

Amendment”). Under the Second Amendment, the appeal was dismissed and ARI agreed to either (i) acquire all of the outstanding shares of IORI and TCI not currently owned by ARI for a cash payment or shares of ARI preferred stock or (ii) make a tender offer for all of the outstanding common shares of IORI and TCI not currently owned by ARI. At the time, IORI had the same board as TCI and the same advisor as TCI and ARI. Earl D. Cecil and Ted P. Stokely who served as Directors of IORI and TCI, were also directors of ARI.
On November 15, 2002, ARI commenced, through subsidiaries, a tender offer for shares of common stock of TCI and IORI. The price per share was $17.50 for TCI shares and $19.00 for IORI shares. The tender offers were completed on March 19, 2003. ARI acquired 265,036 shares of IORI and 1,213,226 TCI shares. The completion of the tender offer fulfilled the obligations under the Second Amendment and the Olive Litigation was dismissed with prejudice.
Liquidity. Management anticipates that IORI will generate excess cash from operations in 2003 due to increased rental rates and occupancy at its properties, however, such excess may not be sufficient to discharge all of IORI’s debt obligations as they mature. Management intends to selectively sell income producing real estate, refinance real estate and incur additional borrowings against real estate to meet its cash requirements.
Other Litigation. IORI is also involved in various other lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. Management is of the opinion that the outcome of these lawsuits will have no material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
NOTE 18. CORRECTION OF PREVIOUSLY FILED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company identified an accounting error in the financial statements related to the total Metra transactions. The error involved the establishment of an incorrect process involving the deferral of operating income or expense from the Metra properties until the sale of the property. The result is the Company concluded that changes should be made to its financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2003. The resulting impact in these financial statements was to decrease net income for the year ended December 31, 2003 by $436,000 from a reported $1,782,000 to $1,346,000, and a decrease of net income on a per share basis from a reported $1.24 per share to $0.94 per share. This decrease resulted from an increase in interest expense of approximately $458,000, decrease of net income fee to affiliate of $21,000, and a decrease of advisory fee to affiliate of $1,000. Total assets decreased by approximately $51,000 due to an increase of receivable from affiliate for $22,000 and an decrease in other assets of $73,000, and total liabilities increase by $385,000 due to a decrease in other liabilities of $385,000.
